My real name is Rita, too, altho' I *like* being called Catlady (it
appears from your other name luvmykatz that cats are another thing we have
in common), and the spoilers let me know that Rita Skeeter is a negative
character: one person said something about "the most annoying woman in
the world". *I* am irritated at my name being used by a bad guy character!

I'm glad at least that I'm no longer in the 9-12 (or 5 - 21) age group! I
was one of those kids that other kids always make fun of, and the only
things they could do with my name *then* were Read-a Book and Meter Maid.

Btw, where is Trappe PA? A woman named Lola Rita Geselowitz in State
College PA was the first white woman (besides me) that I ever met who was
named Rita not short for something else (but she was a whole generation
older than us). In fact, even the black and Latina 'Rita's are short
for Marguerite and Margarita respectively.
